Kentucky Futurities on Labor Day Weekend Will Pay Tens of Thousands to Eligible Quarter Horses
(Lexington, KY) – The 2013 Kentucky Futurities, a Labor Day weekend show (August 31 to September 2) held in Liberty, co-sponsored by the Kentucky Quarter Horse Association (KyQHA) and the Kentucky Quarter Horse Breeder’s Association (KQHBA), will offer up to $55,000+ in supplements, bonuses and awards. An estimated $34,500 may be awarded in KyQHA Breeders’ Incentive Fund (BIF) supplements to horses verified as BIF-eligible; an estimated $22,000 will go to those horses eligible for the KQHBA Futurity.
In addition to an unprecedented bonus offering, the event will also repeat in 2013 its novel and well-received all-inclusive $250 Exhibitor Entry Packages. This approach not only offers an exceptional value for exhibitors, but also gives them the opportunity to show in as many classes as preferred without having to bear additional expenses for each. The package covers your horse’s stall, all fees, and entries for all classes in all show divisions for which individual horses and riders are eligible to compete, with six (6) sets of AQHA points to be awarded over the three-day holiday weekend.
These innovative concepts result from a joining of forces between the Kentucky Quarter Horse Association and the Kentucky Quarter Horse Breeders’ Association to seek ways to offer something for everyone on a schedule that works for everyone. Scarlett Barrow, president of the Kentucky Quarter Horse Breeder’s Association, said, “I want to invite all Quarter Horse enthusiasts to the show. For several years, we have offered this great value to show horse enthusiasts. Between our KQHBA Futurity payouts and the KyQHA BIF supplements, this will be an event no one will want to miss.”
Paul Coffey, president of the Kentucky Quarter Horse Association, said, “We continue to build on our events of previous years. Even though the economy has not fully rebounded, this horse show represents tremendous value for all exhibitors and rich rewards for KQHBA and KyQHA BIF horses. Great numbers, a favorite facility, unlimited classes and divisions, and low price for six sets of points! These benefits we are proud to offer Quarter Horse exhibitors. Plus, most amateurs should not have to miss any work and most youth should not have to miss any school. There’s something here for everyone.”
The Kentucky Quarter Horse Breeder’s Association Futurity, which pays an estimated $22,000 for eligible horses, will offer a schedule dispersed within classes on Saturday, September 1st. KyQHA’s BIF supplements, generated through registration fees, will be paid to those BIF-verified eligible horses that show and place in the top five of their respective BIF classes based on cumulative placings of three judges.
